Thanks both of you. It's been an enjoyable thread.

Thanks.  I hope I didn't make the K545's sound like one trick ponies though.

For some reason I recently decided that my 2 decade old old Senn HP 25s are in need of a much deserved rest, especially after I recently acquired a DAC/headphone amp (Beresford Bushmaster).  As the headphones were just for home use, I just wanted the best sound per £, hoping for a more open...

Just had my original set 215s replaced by Shure UK which had suffered the well known earpiece cutting out failure, received a brand new pair back in around 10 days. Has anyone enquired about warranty time on the replacement pair-is it still the original date of purchase? 

Quote: good post   the review is also very positive

I was on the verge of pulling the trigger on some Mi3s but for now I'm gonna make do with my Shure 215s.  Good to read your review, thanks for posting.   Can you tell me how well they isolate compared to your Etys?

Hi there   I'm pretty new here too but in my short time on head fi I've learnt that there's way more to iems than what's available in my local store.   As a suggestion, start with this thread if you haven't already,  ...

I replied in the other thread

Today, for the 1st time, I listened to the 215s on my iPhone 4 without equalisation, for around an hour on shuffle (OST/classical/electronic/alt rock) -so far I have been using treble boost which is quite severe) .     Highs sounded much better than they did after approx 50 hours, I think...

Quote: Don't panic about break in, they will do it anyway as you push music thru them. I reckon I have about 75 hours on mine- the 1st 20 odd would were mainly pink noise files downloaded from someone's sig here.  But don't worry about what you break them in with, just put your player...
